Here are some posts from the Paizo Blog on Pathfinder Society.
Note that only season 5 scenarios have taken away the old-style faction missions.

As quickly as they receive them, clerks in the Grand Lodge of Absalom are processing the reports from field agents across the Inner Sea. Overall, the results are very promising, and Society leadership agrees that despite the outbreak of the Firth Mendevian Crusade, plans to travel to Jormurdun are proceeding smoothly.
Against this backdrop, the eight faction leaders have overseen their own projects and sent missives to their allies in the Pathfinder Society to update agents on their progress. You can read each faction head’s letter on the paizo.com messageboards. When the time comes, ensure that you represent your faction proudly in the following scenarios, all released during the coming months of the Year of the Demon:
Andoran: Pathfinder Society Scenario #5–18: The Stranger Within and Pathfinder Society Scenario 5–23: Cairn of Shadows.
Cheliax: Pathfinder Society Scenario #5–17: Fate of the Fiend and Pathfinder Society Scenario 5–23: Cairn of Shadows.
Grand Lodge: Pathfinder Society Scenario #5–20: The Sealed Gate and Pathfinder Society Scenario 5–25: Vengeance at Sundered Crag.

Thanks for your participation in and feedback regarding the Year of the Demon. It’s exciting to see the check box results from reported scenarios. These not only help to steer the direction of our factions but also determine which NPCs might return in future scenarios as allies or as antagonists.

As the Year of the Risen Rune draws to a close, the Pathfinder Society is bustling with the preparation for the launch of the next exciting adventure for the thousands of Pathfinders participating in the campaign. In just a few short days, the Year of the Demon will commence, and members of all eight active factions are getting ready for the season ahead.
Each faction leader, from Andoran's Major Colson Maldris to Taldor's Lady Gloriana Morilla, have sent a missive to their allies within the Pathfinder Society, updating their agents on the conclusion of last season's goals and laying forth new agendas for the coming year. A brief overview of each faction's goals for Season Five can be found below, along with a link to the full text of each faction head's letter on the paizo.com messageboards.
Andoran: Root out corruption in Andoran and better understand others' paths to liberty.
Cheliax: Secure important artifacts and sources of power to establish order in the Inner Sea region and strengthen the faction's power base.
Grand Lodge: Ensure the success of the Pathfinder Society's expedition to the Sky Citadel of Jormurdun.
Osirion: Contact the Jeweled Sages, explore their history, and extend the faction's protection of history beyond Osirion's borders.
Qadira: Establish a long-term trade deal with one of several possible trading partners.
Sczarni: Extend the Sczarni faction's reach into central Avistan, and neutralize the faction's rivals.
Silver Crusade: Aid the nation of Mendev in its crusade against the Worldwound.
Taldor: Assist Lady Gloriana Morilla in gathering forces to march to Mendev.
To reflect the efforts of Pathfinders of all ten factions active during the Year of the Risen Rune, all characters who earned 6 or more Prestige Points between August 16, 2012 and August 15, 2013 may apply the following Chronicle sheet to their records. The Chronicle sheet includes ten boons, one for each faction, which provide a special bonus to characters who forwarded their faction's goals during the course of the year. Expect a similar reward at the end of the Year of the Demon.

Have a great year, Pathfinders, and don't forget: Explore, Report, Coorperate!
