I don't think you need the colons around journal on the

   #+FILETAGS: journal

line.  You can just separate multiple tags with spaces on this line and
they should all get applied.

You also need to C-c C-c on that line (or any #+ line at the top
of your file) when you change things to reload org-mode so it sees the
new settings and applies it to your headings -- or restart Emacs)

That's correct as long as your journal is included in your
org-agenda-files.
