By default, the communication email address will be your login email address. If you provide an alternative communication email address, this email address will be used for updating you on your newsroom activities. As of today, you can’t change your SoJor login email address. However, you can change your communication email address. If you wish to change your communication email address, you need to go to your profile. Make sure that you are logged in.
