I’m interested in both and can get into Data Science with both, but I’m mainly asking myself which one would be better paired with a career in journalism? (data journalism)

This has largely been my experience as well. I work as a statistician and it seems like the folks who arrived at data science through a CS background are less equipped to think through data analysis. Though I suppose to be fair, their coding skills are better than mine. But if OP wants to do data journalism, of the sort Pro Publica is gearing up for, then a stats background would be better.
