If she is interested in pursuing a BFA, it is practically impossible. There's no way to double major in anything in four years.
If she's just looking for schools with excellent musical theatre programs and excellent journalism programs there are a lot. Emerson, Michigan, Miami, Texas, Northwestern, NYu are a few off of the top of my head. But, having written that, so much of what matters in college is not the prestige of the program, but the quality of the experience that the student will have. Will she get cast? Will she get a chance to actually be a journalist? These are the questions worth answering. For the record, here are a few of the best journalism schools in the country: Missouri, Northwestern, Syracuse, NYU, Emerson, USC.
Good luck!

Subject: Musical Theatre Double Major?
I have a student who is looking to double major in Musical Theatre and Journalism. She realizes this might be impossible. Any suggestions of schools or programs that might be interesting to this student?
Thanks,
