I thought I'd make a kind of "all in one guide" as even though the DLC was quite easy to complete, there were a lot of things to pay attention to. First note: all of the locations for Journals and all but one of the locations for the Ducks were taken from https://psnprofiles.com/guide/5307-homefront-the-revolution-...
I just rewrote the descriptions a bit, combined them into one list and added screenshots to some of the ducks. I also found the 8th duck by accident (number 5).
As a side note, when there's a duck nearby, you should be able to see yellow paint somewhere on the wall. This should make the process of finding and shooting them a little easier. Besides, you start a new campaign for this and recollect ducks and journals, which should count again for the achievement.
Duck 1. At the beginning of "Back in the Saddle", you will commandeer a motorcycle; the duck is sitting right behind the vehicle.
Duck 2. Later in that mission, you will reach an area underground where you pick your weapons and talk to a pair of resistance fighters. The duck is in a green colored corner on the left as you enter.
https://screenshotscontent-t5002.xboxlive.com/00090000053d30...
Journal 1. (same room as Duck 2) In the room with the weapon cabinet and two resistance fighters, walk toward the back to a storage room. The journal is sitting on a chair in this room.
This should unlock.

From this point on, go to the right hand side through some buildings. You will need to enter the building on the other side of the road without being detected. If you are, simply restart from checkpoint.
Journal 2. During "Breaking News", you will walk through a partially destroyed building just past the first roof you can walk over; the journal is on the ground floor of this building on a coffee table. (right hand side)
Duck 3. (same building as Journal 2) There will be a blown out section of wall on the upper floor with the duck sitting on a concrete slab next to some transformers. (right hand side upstairs)

If done correctly, upon entering a room with 2 enemies and a lot of books, this achievement will pop.
The Signal To Noise achievement in Homefront: The Revolution worth 88 pointsEnter the Broadcast Center without detection.
Duck 4. Later in that mission you will enter an office style room just before the recording studio. All the desks are very dark, but one of the first ones on the left of the room has a duck on it. (turn left, then 2nd desk on right hand side)
Journal 3. (same room as Duck 4) The journal is sitting on a desk to the right of the entrance.
Upon hacking the broadcast, thereby turning it off.

Now a large group of enemies will attack you, including at least 2 heavies. You will not want to use a health kit until you leave this building for an achievement. I used a health kit just before I hacked the broadcast, as I for some reason failed it the first time. Then I killed off all enemies and the achievement popped upon leaving the building.
I suggest to just camp in the broadcast room and take the enemies off from a distance, while moving back and forth from cover. Obviously, go for this on the easiest difficulty setting as there is no difficulty related achievements in the DLC's.

Duck 5: You will encounter a building in "Behind Enemy Lines" where you will need to knife yellow pallets to enter, and a lot of crates to go through the building to the top floor. You can shoot the duck just before entering the building. It's sitting on a ledge near the corner of the building.
https://screenshotscontent-t2001.xboxlive.com/00090000053d30...
Journal 4. In that same building, the journal is on a chair on the upper floor of this building.
Duck 6. Early in "Behind Enemy Lines" you will encounter a small group of enemies including seeker drones and a Wolverine. The duck is in a disabled van in the middle of the area.
Journal 5. Just before entering the pipes (not the first pipe) in "Behind Enemy Lines", you will find a deceased resistance soldier on the left side; the journal is sitting next to him. This is the area just after the short stealth section where you have to drive a remote hack through the pipes.
Duck 7. Toward the end of this mission, after disabling the fans with an RC car hack, turn to the right to the gate where you had to drive the car. The duck is just beyond the gate on a slightly raised ledge.
https://screenshotscontent-t2001.xboxlive.com/00090000053d30...
In the next area, you can go for this achievement:
The Death by Boom achievement in Homefront: The Revolution worth 69 pointsKill 2 KPA guards in the compound using explosive canisters.
Try to use distractions to make enemies move to canisters or reveal yourself and make enemies chase you, thereby letting them run past canisters. Then shoot these canisters.
Duck 8. After killing the first enemy in "Operation Eagle Cry", you will go up some stairs and will be below some raised walkways. Continue walking straight past a truck (left hand side) and you will find a low ledge you can crouch under; the duck is on the ground just around the corner.
https://screenshotscontent-t4001.xboxlive.com/00090000053d30...
Journal 6. When you enter the hallway containing the prison cells, the final journal is in cell 3 on the bed.
Upon entering the chopper:

Then restart the campaign and recollect the first duck(s), depending on how many you've missed (at least one as it hasn't been found yet).

well written, thanks

The easiest way I found to get these achievements (the duck and journal one) is just start Aftermath over and get the journal and ducks at the beginning. Since the progress carries over you can just keep doing that. I missed these the first time I played through this DLC and I didn't want to play through it again.

Found this great solution by By NCSFan001 on PSNProfiles which helped a lot.

As with the first DLC, there are a total of 6 journals you can find. They are small blue books that are somewhat well hidden throughout the DLC. Fortunately, like the first DLC, you just need to collect 6 total over any number of playthroughs; for example, if you collect 4 in your first playthrough, you can collect any 2 on your second playthrough and get the trophy.
The journal locations are as follows:
1.When you enter the underground area after using the motorcycle in the first mission (the room with the weapon cabinet and two resistance fighters), walk toward the back to a storage room. The journal is sitting on a chair in this room.
2.During "Breaking News", you will walk through a partially destroyed building just past the first roof you can walk over; the journal is on the ground floor of this building on a coffee table.
3.In the large room with office cubicles during "Breaking News" just before you enter the recording studio; the journal is sitting on a desk to the right of the entrance.
4.At the beginning of "Behind Enemy Lines" you will walk through a heavily damaged building with a lot of objects you have to knife to progress. The journal is on a chair on the upper floor of this building.
5.Just before entering the pipes in "Behind Enemy Lines", you will find a deceased resistance soldier on the left side; the journal is sitting next to him. This is the area just after the short stealth section where you have to drive a remote hack through the pipes.
6.When you enter the hallway containing the prison cells, the final journal is in cell 3 on the bed.

Note: Just like Duck Hunt, the Journals are cumulative so if you miss one; start up a new game and pick up the first Journal again.
Journal 1. The first journal will be in the car park in a side room to the right, on a chair in the back. This is in the same car park you found Rubber Duck #2.
Journal 2. This Journal can be found in the same building as Rubber Duck #3, on the ground floor on a small table.
Journal 3. This is found in the same room as Rubber Duck #4, on the right on a desk. You might wanna turn your flashlight on as the room is very dark.
Journal 4. Just at the beginning of mission 3 you will need to enter a house by smashing your way through yellow pieces of wood, the journal will be on the top floor at the end of the small walkway, sitting on a chair in the left corner.
Journal 5. This journal is behind the little shack where you pick up the RC car to hack the fans, this is at the end of mission 3 just before Rubber Duck #6.
Journal 6. After you get to the end of the compound in the last mission, you will enter a hallway with prison cells and the last Journal can be found on the bed in cell #3.
