Multimodality and genre in my opinion have a very strong relationship, I believe that without one you really cant have the other. The reason I believe this is because genre can be described as a way of organizing things by their similarities. Meanwhile multimodality is the different forms and ways that we can relay messages. So in other words multimodality uses modes to relay messages based on different types of genres. For example, the news about the Mayweather and Pacquiao fight is released through the TV on a sports channel at night, this all happens because of the genre the fight is in, this differs from lets say a murder case that is released instantly through a news channel and a prime news time.
I believe that the main relationship between multimodality and genre is that the type of mode used to portray information is determined by the genre of the information, making so that multimodality has a direct correlation with genre in the sense that it completely relies on genre to determine the way the information is going to be relayed.
