^ After reading your most recent post, I agree with this suggestion. It strikes a balance between the practicality and interest aspects, plus it ties into both journalism and business.

And yeah, regarding the personal statements you should be able to edit them and tie in how econ relates to your goal to become a journalist.

For the math requirements, at Davis at least it requires three quarters of the MAT 16 (calc for social sciences, basically) series or two quarters of the MAT 21 (calc for hard science/engineering majors, excluding biosci) series. From what I’ve seen, that general requirement is about the same as far as how long you have to take math. Many people come in without any calc under their belt, so you most certainly won’t be alone there.
