Hey, I'll add a few to that list as well....you could try Blind Spot, Lenswork or Double Take. DT is put out by the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke and is a nice publication sorta like Aperture in a way, but more centered around contemporary documentary/journalism projects. I used to get Aperture for years, but it seemed to get "stale" after a bit--for lack of a better word. The last 2, although not fine-art oriented are standards in the industry. Try Communication Arts--they do a monster photo annual once a year, that even though is loaded with advertising work, alot of these photographers do cross-over projects. Photo District News is probably the best photo mag in the US, besides View Camera. PDN covers a broad sector of the business, from fine-art & documentary, to advertising. The thing to remember about alot of those "greats" in photography, is that they were also working photographers as well, plying their trade in commercial work, portraiture or journalism....I'm not a historian, or a curator--just a photographer--but I think the up & coming photographers in the future will come out of the industry just like they did in the past.....
