To be precise, since I think the topic was raised, John Moulden discusses various definitions in his 'definition' section and uses the term 'ballad' to refer to a piece of paper that carries song texts. (See page 45). This would include a broadside as a sub category, but he finds the term used ambiguously and does not regard it as synonymous with 'broadsheet'. He defines the terms he intends to use in a definitions section. Interestingly, he decides to avoid the word 'folk'.

Steve Shaw's charm and his many constructive contributions above the line are both legendary. I hope he has a lovely day and that he stays well.
