After listening to the Journalist's (and Shuyona's) tapes, I came to the conclusion that Info-Chan is the Journalist's daughter.

My reasoning for this is that the Journalist talked about his daughter, but never mentioned her name. He said that he never cared for her as his wife, her mother, had died during child birth. He became a drunk after the failed court case in '89 and the birth of his daughter, and he often neglected her, too.  

He spoke about his wife as being over-protective when around other women, but he was thankful for her as he didn't understand how someone could love him after his embarrassing loss against Ryoba. I think that his wife was a yandere, but he didn't realise it. When thinking about the timeline at the end of the S+ ending, it said Ryoba had a younger sister, but she was 5 years younger than her. If this mystery Aishi was the Journalist's wife, it may seem a little odd due to the age difference, but, still, it could be a possibility.

Back on to the mystery daughter.  The Journalist was talking about how his daughter spent her time shut in her room on a computer that she bought with her own money. Her own money? He noticed his daughter had "a lot of money for someone her age", but he didn't pry her for an answer as to why or how she had it, as he said that he left her to her own devices, partially out of respect, but, mostly out of fear.

In the last tape (I think), he was talking about how he had encountered Ryoba again, but that isn't really important. Anyways, he was in a panic when he was speaking to the tape, but he said that he had to get away from Ryoba. To move out of the town, no, the state, no, maye even the whole of the country! He was dedicating the tape to his mystery daughter, saying that he knew she'd be able to find the tapes. With this, we know that his daughter is a student at Akademi, narrowing down the options to the 52 female students (excluding Taeko, and including all 10 rivals), where Info-Chan can still be an option. Even though Ayano finds the tapes (as the player), I can't help but think that the tapes were initially meant for Info-Chan. 

If Info-Chan truly is the Journalist's daughter, I feel that she knows all about how Ryoba ruined her father, and that she's helping/working with Ayano to put proof together against her and get the revenge her father so badly craves.

If this theory is correct, as Ryoba's sister would have been Ayano's aunt, this would have made Info-Chan and Ayano cousins.
