Germany’s association of family-owned companies has lifted its ban on contacts with AfD lawmakers, signalling the far-right party’s growing acceptability in parts of the business community as it climbs in the polls.

To be fair to the media here: they didn’t invent the name, the association itself is called “Verband der Familienunternehmen”. So they’re the ones doing the framing. However, Reuters COULD translate it with capital initials, “Association of Family-Owned Businesses” or something, to show that it’s a name.
That would be minimum for a short note.
Which this isn’t, so they could do this thing called … you know … journalism.
This outdated stuff where they actually inform people about details like that association being a neo-liberal lobbyism organisation representing about 0.2% of German family businesses. With such “family businesses” as Miele, Dr.Oetker or Henkel (~5, 4 and 21 billion revenue/year).
