The Pulitzer Prize committee likely chooses a low-key luncheon to maintain the integrity and seriousness of the awards. By keeping the event simple and private, the focus remains on the recognition of excellence in journalism and the arts, rather than on the spectacle of a televised ceremony. Additionally, a low-key approach can help avoid potential distractions or controversies that might arise from a more publicized event.
