If she is into Photojournalism, are these the type of cameras she would want ???

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

The closest D5100 eqv is Canon's T3i (aka EOS 600D). Nikon fans prefer the D3100 and Canon fans prefer the EOS 1100D.

I would let her pick the camera. As this choice is almost always one of personal preference. Not really "which is better".
