Karin Gunvor Sjöblom Hägglund (2 March 1932 – 19 August 2011), better known as Gun Hägglund, was a Swedish television host and translator. Hägglund was the first female television news anchor in Sweden,[2] hosting the Swedish national evening news show Aktuellt in 1958.[3] She is sometimes credited as the first female television news reader in the world,[4][5][6] but that claim is inaccurate as British ITN Midday News included female bulletin presenter Barbara Mandell in 1955[7] and BBC Regional news bulletin included Armine Sandford in 1957.
