Is UW the University of Wisconsin or the University of Washington?
UW-Madison has a very good Journalism program and strength in just about everything else, including Lit and Poli Sci. I have my BA in Journalism from -Madison. I had a blast as a copy editor at the Daily Cardinal.
It isn’t a safety anymore, particularly for OOS students. It would be a good match for you, probably. Madison is a fun town and campus.
But be sure to run the NPC to ascertain whether it would be affordable. (same as you should for any school you are considering)
