She was born in Sollentuna. She is the sister of politician Hillevi Engström.[1] Hübinette started her career as the presenter of the debate show Svart eller vitt, which was broadcast on TV4 in the mid-1990s.[2]
After that she presented Uppdrag granskning and Kvällsöppet, and was also a reporter at Sveriges Radio. She then worked solely for SVT presenting the news shows Agenda and Aktuellt. She is a board member of the company Hands on AB.[3]
When her sister Hillevi Engström, who is a politician for the Moderate Party, became secretary of employment after the general elections in 2010, Hübinette had to resign from her work as a journalist at Agenda and Aktuellt.[1] She however remained working at SVT, where she became a foreign reporter for the show Korrespondenterna.[4] One year later she started presenting her own talk show, called Hübinette, which aired for two seasons in 2011 and 2012.[2]
Karin Hübinette returned to presenting Agenda in 2014, after the program changed format and added Camilla Kvartoft and others as presenters.[5] This means that if her sister appears on the show, one of the other presenters can interview her.[5]
