Lacey then joined The New York Times in 1999 as a correspondent. He first covered the White House and U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., then reported from Nairobi, Kenya, as Nairobi bureau chief, and Mexico City, as bureau chief for Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.

As national editor, then as assistant managing editor, Lacey served on The New York Times' 2020 Committee, which sought to modernize the newspaper's digital strategy and oversaw the launch of the Live platform, which then-executive editor Dean Baquet and his then-deputy, Joe Kahn, called "the engaging and demanding platform for dynamic coverage of the biggest news stories."
